If you are horrified by the #Web Environment Integrity proposal by Google (#DRM for ads), stop using #Chrome and switch to #Firefox and block ads everywhere.

The only eyeballs left for #Google to show #ads are the ones protected by ad #blockers. That’s the highest #growth opportunity they have, and we cannot let them have it.

@dangillmor I use ublockorigin and privacy badger.
I find that the smart blocking that they do enables most sites to still function even if badly written.
Oh and Firefox browser, very comforting not to be using Googles browser.

“In his ruling, Judge Moody wrote that the state had ‘failed to provide sufficient evidence that the banned treatments are ineffective or experimental‘, while plaintiffs had shown that the care ‘can relieve the clinically significant distress associated with #gender #dysphoria in #adolescents‘.

He said banning hormone treatment, puberty #blockers or surgery for anyone under 18 violated the rights of #transgender children and their families under the US Constitution.“ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65977996

Some thoughts triggered by https://martinfowler.com/articles/programs-in-product-mode.html:

- "product-mode company" is clearer than "tech company"
- #Product vs #Project is a "pick your poison" issue
- The largest risk to any program is probably integration
- Anticipate #dependencies by studying historical #blockers.
- #IntegrationTests and milestones are more trustworthy than status reports.
- What is an effective virtual equivalent to a physical #ProgramWall? Honestly, I don't know.

Chloe "Cole struggled with #genderdysphoria from the young age of 11, when she was first exposed to LGBTQ ideology through online platforms.

At just 13 years old, Cole was put on #puberty #blockers and testosterone by her doctors, which caused a ripple of negative side effects she still experiences to this day — including joint pain, weak bone density, and ongoing urinary tract infection symptoms."

“In 🇳🇱, treatment with #pubertyblockers is available to #transgender adolescents younger than age 18 years. When gender #dysphoria persists testosterone or oestradiol can be added as gender-affirming hormones in young people who go on to transition. Most participants who started #blockers and gender-affirming hormone treatment in adolescence. continued gender-affirming hormones into adulthood.“

New bill prefiled for 2023-2024: #Tennessee House Bill 1, prefiled several days ago, is a blanket #GenderCare bill so vaguely worded that it would prohibit and criminalize any type of #gender care at all; potentially including use of #binders or safe tucking advice, as "..or device" is so open. Also bans GnRHa #blockers, #HRT or #surgery. One section compares #trans care to a second opioid crisis— equating hormone therapy with heroin addiction. https://legiscan.com/TN/bill/HB0001/2023
